TECH UNIT - 045 : MODEL AS-RBP RETRIEVABLE BRIDGE PLUG, 9-5/8 (P/N: SDL-72496)

The SAPEX-DL Model AS-RBP Retrievable Bridge Plug is a high pressure packer type plug used for multiple
selective zone treating and testing operations. The plug is designed with a large internal bypass to prevent swabbing
when running and retrieving. The bypass closes during the setting of the plug and opens prior to releasing the upper
slips to equalize pressure when unsetting. The AS-RBP plug has the added feature of being able to set and packoff
the element in tension, making it ideal for setting shallow to test well head equipment and also deep, high pressure
wells.

* Tools listed are left hand set/ right hand release.

CAUTION: If the AS-RBP Packer is run with a Model HD Service Packer, make sure the bridge plug J-slot
is compatible with the J-slot on the packer. Whichever direction you set the plug, the packer
should set in the opposite direction.

SETTING PROCEDURE

Tension Set

Run to setting depth while latched to its spring loaded retrieving tool. Pick up, rotate 1/4 turn to the left at the plug,
and lower tubing to set lower slips. Pull tension to pack-off elements, slackoff, then pick up again to assure plug
setting. (See setting force guide.) After setting plug, slack off tubing weight, hold left hand torque and pick up to free
tubing from plug.

Compression Set

Run to setting depth while latched to its spring loaded retrieving tool. Pick up, rotate 1/4 turn to the left at the plug,
and lower tubing to set lower slips. Slack off sufficient weight to pack-off elements, then pick up to firmly set upper
slips and slackoff again. (See setting forces guide.) After setting plug, slack off tubing weight, hold left hand torque
and pick up the free tubing from plug.

RELEASING PROCEDURE

Lower tubing until the retrieving tool automatically latches to the AS-RBP Bridge Plug. Sand may be washed from the
upper slip by circulating through the upper portion of the plug. Slack off weight, hold right hand torque pick up to
open the bypass valve, and wait until differential pressure has equalized. Continue upward movement to release
upper slips, relax packing elements and re-latch. The plug may now be removed or re-located. If the plug will not
release conventionally, slack off re-set then pick straight up to shear J-pins and release the plug (shear value of the
J-pins is variable, see J-pin chart for options.) Once the J-pins are sheared the tool cannot be moved down hole.

NOTE: Most of the component parts are manufactured from heat treated alloy steel. Therefore,
extended exposure to corrosives can be detrimental to the metallurgy. Care in cleaning the
tool soon after removal from the well can help extend the life of component parts. Close
inspection of the parts is necessary, after removal, to identify any parts which require
replacement.

CAUTION: When running this tool with a packer, make sure the J-slots in the plug, running/ retrieving
tool, and packer are all compatible.
